The immigration officer deserves a medal for teaching CJ a few lessons from Civil servant code of conduct 101.
Quote the constitution or act that says so.....and it's obvious it wasn't the 1st time he was travelling out of the country!!!!
I have previously worked as a civil servant so i know it first hand.
Probaly your position demanded that you do the same, read the full statement again!!!
@4architecht you are wrong and allow to be corrected... There is a Civil Service Code of Conduct which btw is surbodinate to the Public Officer Ethics Act 2003. Cabinet Ministers can't travel without presidential approval but Constitutional Office holders are exempt. The Judiciary have their own Judicial Service Code of Conduct
@Maka. .any international travel that uses public funds/security e.t.c has to be cordinated by the executive. How does the Judiciary account at treasury and with NSIS for example if they do not communicate to them? Maybe the Judicial code of conduct could be missing crucial requirments and needs ammending. I have never seen it so i cant speak about it. I can only authoritatively speak about the Civil service code of conduct.
My question is whether the CJ is a civil servant?
I thought the whole idea of the current constitution is to have separation of powers and create independence between the 3 arms of government?
Under the devolved system, the legislature will now finally be delinked from the executive as the Cabinet Secretaries will not be sitting members of parliament.
Ideally each arm should have its own budget and reporting lines in each should end at the top i.e. for the executive - president, for the legislature - house speakers and for Judiciary - CJ.
This way the government becomes self regulating and proper checks and balances fall into place.
